Microsoft is plugging more holes that let you use Windows 11 without MS account

So you made zero effort got it. Try running PC-DOS on there instead. Should work fine with a "perfectly normal PC", everything should just "work".

This is the exact attitude that keeps people away from Linux. The moment someone points out practical problems with Linux, it's users get all defensive and elitist about it. Sigh, if at least this changed more people would use Linux.

You don't have to throw out your whole PC. Could you have waited for the next time you upgraded and thought about it then? Maybe if it's a desktop swapped out the GPU and kept the rest of the components?

It wasn't even clear from your original post that you even kept the same PC FFS. Nor did you clarify what "bog standard" PC components you used. Just expected perfection.

I expected the OS to function on standard hardware, that’s not perfection.

You’re acting in serious bad faith. Goodbye.
